So much happening..

So first of all, there's the end of work next week. So relieved to have done this though of course the idea of having basically no money coming in and quite a lot going out, is a bit worrying..

Then, it's my mum's operation at the end of June and there's a lot of getting ready and getting organised around that and it makes me feel a bit scared and worried (as it does my mum too, of course.. ). Though I do think the operation will be okay - but is it time then for my mum to move down to Brighton? And if so, how do we manage this?

I'm hoping still to spend most of July in Portugal, coming back in the middle to see my mum and also for my schoolfriend's memorial service.

In August I really need to get running! I've entered a 10-mile run in October and so far I can only do four... I've been up to six but there's a lot to build up for ten miles.

If all goes well, in September, I should be starting a Creative Writing MA. It's been my dream for so long to do something like this.. I was amazed to be accepted on the course and I can't wait for it to start.

Before that though, I've a haircut today; my mum and her sister down for the weekend tomorrow; the arrival of Hass and Sarah and family on Sunday; Bulgaria on Monday and Tuesday; my mum's pre-op consultation on Wednesday; Hass and Sarah again on Thursday; last day at work on Friday; Rose for lunch on Saturday; Mike's mum's 90th on Sunday; Paris to see Lisa on Monday and Tuesday and then it's Lichfield Lichfield Lichfield for my mum's op..
